Week Two Module: Sunday, March 20 - Saturday, March 26 Assignments and Discussion Posts due by Saturday, March 26 RI Unit of Study assignment:
Assignment: Complete the Standards Activity Worksheet posted on the course wiki. Make sure you look at the Standards Activity Sample. Post the completed worksheet to your personal website.
Complete the following sections of the Unit of Study on http://rittionline.wikispaces.com/ using the link on the Unit of Study Page Template page: GLEs / GSEs, Notes, Clarifications and prerequisites regarding standards, and Additional Learner Outcomes.
Technology assignments:
Tools for Teaching: Thinkfinity, Teacher Tube, You Tube, Zamzar, etc.
Assignment: You Tube is blocked at most public schools. You Tube is a valuable resource. Search You Tube to locate a video that would help students better understand a concept you are trying to teach (a video that supports your Unit of Study would be better!). Use a file converter website (see course wiki for list) to convert the identified YouTube video so that you can play the video at school. Post the converted video to your RIEPS folder.
Assignment: Go to www.thinkfinity.org/ Using the resources available on Thinkfinity, complete the Scavenger Hunt assignment posted on RIEPS.
